I never understood why that is. He had RL and infamous for a while, why no bobby team in the psp now? Just too busy making vics and g6r's?

Zach was on Oakland blast, not sure if they played psp or not but Zach quit to help with orders and the shop if I remember correctly.(this may not be true any more as it was a year or so ago that it happened)

Timing-wise, it probably would have been a better business decision to sit on this for half a season. The fact that Bob pushed out the V-Com and the Insight so close to each other, I think, says he's about putting great gear in the hands of the players.

Whats so bad about it? I know I'm one of the many who've bought both, and seems a lot already have put $ down on just Insight.
(all be it I'm selling the VCOM, not because I dont like it, more because I dont think I'll reach for it enough to keep)

Well all business terms aside you don't want to introduce a product into an unstable market. The two options were one to release it along side the Vic as the spool only option at a reduced price; which it is. Or two release it a 6 or so months after the vcom is released, just to see if the spool is a hit or not. I would go with two because of all the issues BL has been having with the bolt assembly.

Bob's a good business man but anyone who's ever talked to him knows the passion he has for the sport, his brand, and the markers he makes. It might have made sense to wait but it would be unrealistic for someone like him. The same passion that makes him successful make it difficult to wait!
